#342 Ectoplasm - Is Ghost Slime Real?
21 November 2023 - 1 hour 3 mins explicitIn this, the Year of Luigi 2023 people believe that ghosts are completely immaterial; that they come and go without a trace. But that has not always been the case - for hundreds of years people have believed that ghosts and spirits can create a substance called ectoplasm. First made famous in pop culture by Ghostbusters in 1984; it appeared on movie screens around the world as green slime, but in reality it can be so much much more. On this week’s episode Kit and Rory explore it’s history, the disturbing victorian-era images of ectoplasm and, by the end, smear ectoplasm all over their faces. Obviously.

Did a UFO Appear in 743AD? - The Sky People
2025 TOUR TICKETS www.thisparanormallife.com History is fun to read — it teaches us about our collective past and what life was like through human history. But occasionally the events threaten to re-write human history itself… The Airship of Clonmacnoise is small and strange story, practically a footnote in the global history of Christian texts, and yet it is repeated across several books and manuscripts as fact. The story details a craft and its crew descending on an Irish church in 743AD, in a manner that in 2024 sounds a lot like an encounter with extra-terrestrials. There’s only one way to find out. #Investigate!
